    When does sharing become oversharing?

    Mental health struggles, thrush, sweaty vaginas, drunken stupors, reality television and toilet talk. Over the years I have shared a lot on social media: photos, countless Instagram stories, blog posts detailing some incredibly personal experiences and more rants than I…

    I’m a swirling mass of anxiety who likes to write

My partner reminded me last night that it’d been My partner reminded me last night that it’d been a year since Hazy Love was released. 

A whole year.

Reminiscing brought on a lot of feelings that I’m still processing, hence the late post. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, but disappointed that my second book is still not out. Being a slow writer leads to a constant battle of emotions and I’m still figuring out how to not beat myself up.
